[RotR] Burnt Offering - Thistletop Lower Level 2

[marine7312000]

Durmisht moves into the room slowly finally stopping in the middle of the room. T11

[The Hunter]

Ryder will trot in to square S11 cautiously, unless stopped by party member. As he goes he'll scan the room for any signs of movement or danger.

Perception Check (1d20+8=17)

[patransom]

Vi follows Durmisht and Ryder into the room to scan the area more closely with detect magic.

[scarymike23]

Carter enters the room but hangs near the door.

[Benji]

Dregs will follow the others into the room, quite interested in the statue but willing to wait for it to be confirmed as safe.

[admin]

Mak follows Dregs, his sight not hindered by the smaller Dwarf.

[Duniagdra]

Durmisht moves into the room slowly finally stopping in the middle of the room. Ryder will trot into the room cautiously stopping behind Durm, unless stopped by party member. As he goes he'll scan the room, Perception Check (1d20+8=17), for any signs of movement or danger. Though he sees nothing, he feels unsettled by the shadows cast off by their light in here. Vi follows Durmisht and Ryder into the room to scan the area more closely with detect magic still active. She sees nothing of note within here. Carter enters the room but hangs near the door. Dregs will follow the others into the room, quite interested in the statue but willing to wait for it to be confirmed as safe. Mak follows Dregs, his sight not hindered by the smaller Dwarf.

[Benji]

Seeing nothing ambush them yet, Dregs moves ahead to W11 to get a better look at the statue.

[admin]

Mak drops his package (non too gently) and starts checking around this room, following Dregs.
Perception check (if required) (1d20+10=16)

[The Hunter]

Ryder will move to square R10 where Mak dropped the woman and will stand watch over her and the door they just entered to ensure noone or nothing stalks them from the other rooms.

Perception Check while keeping guard (1d20+8=14)

[Duniagdra]

Dregs and Mak advance to the statue and as Dregs begins to examine it, the shadows come alive.
Wisps of claws reach out, Incorporeal Touch Attack/Strength Damage vs Durm, Dregs, Dregs (1d20+4=5, 1d6=2, 1d20+4=24, 1d6=3, 1d20+4=14, 1d6=2), Crit Incorporeal Touch Attack/Strength Damage vs Dregs (1d20+4=24, 1d6=3), but Durmisht had moved his arm coincidentally just as the claws reached for him. Dregs is hit twice as the two shadowy claws dig into his arm and shoulder.
(Dregs, 8 Str Damage)

Round 1:

1. Ryder <--- Full Action
2. Durmisht Rul <--- Full Action
3. Violasha <--- Full Action
4. Carter Jenkins <--- Full Action

[marine7312000]

Durmisht turns and unleashes a swing at Shadow1 with his greatsword.

OUT-OF-CHARACTER:    1d20+8=10, 2d6+6=10

[patransom]

Vi takes a 5' step to S12 and, casting defensively (Concentration check to cast a 1st level spell defensively (DC17) (1d20+12=29)), unleashes a cone-shaped fan of electricity that catches Shadow 1 and Shadow 2 ("Burning" Hands electricity damage (4d4=9), DC15 Reflex for half).

OUT-OF-CHARACTER:    Vi goes after Ryder, so if he takes S12 before she can get there, she'll have to change this action.

[scarymike23]

Carter digs into the recesses of his brain and begins to spout all he knows about these creatures (Knowledge Religion (1d20+5=23)). Incorporating these details into a story, he weaves an inspiring tale (Inspire courage +1 attack and damage, +1 save vs fear) on all who can hear him.

[Benji]

“Ugh!” Dregs grunts in sudden distaste as he feels all his equipment suddenly become much heavier than it was before. Not being able to move very far, he instead stands his ground, clutching his symbol of Sarenrae. “Begone foul creatures of shadow! Sarenrae compels you!”

Channel Energy (2d6+4=7) Will DC 13 for half damage.

[The Hunter]

Ryder roars out and spins to attack Shadow 1 with his shortspear, not necessarily sure how to fight a shadow but lashing out with his only weapon in hand was his first instinct.

Shortspear melee vs. Shadow 1 (1d20+9=19, 1d4+4=8)

[Duniagdra]

OUT-OF-CHARACTER:    Giving Mak one more day to post.

OUT-OF-CHARACTER:    Giving Mak one more day to post. woups!

Mak throws 2 Shuriken at shadow #2 (or #3 if #2 is gone) above Dreg's head, and then steps back 5' to S10
2x Shuriken vs Shadow (1d20+4=12, 1d2+4=6, 1d20+4=19, 1d2+4=6)

[Duniagdra]

OUT-OF-CHARACTER:    Will update tonight this evening.

[Duniagdra]

Round 1:

1. Ryder <--- Full Action
2. Durmisht Rul <--- Full Action
3. Violasha <--- Full Action
4. Carter Jenkins <--- Full Action
5. Dregs <--- Full Action
6. Mak Kroket <--- Full Action
7. Shadow <--- Full Action

Ryder roars out and spins to attack Shadow 1 with his shortspear, Shortspear melee vs. Shadow 1 (1d20+9=19, 1d4+4=8) (Incorporeal Miss Chance (1d100=58)), not necessarily sure how to fight a shadow but lashing out with his only weapon in hand was his first instinct. Instinct or not, Ryder finds something in the void of the shadow, something solid in a sense of saying, and the shadow reals in agony. Durmisht turns and unleashes a swing at Shadow 1, 1d20+8=10, 2d6+6=10, with his greatsword, but his swing passes through air. Vi takes a 5' step to Ryder's left and, casting defensively (Concentration check to cast a 1st level spell defensively (DC17) (1d20+12=29)), unleashes a cone-shaped fan of electricity that catches Shadow 1 and Shadow 2 ("Burning" Hands electricity damage (4d4=9), DC15 Reflex for half). Arcs of electricity roil and dance about from Vi's hands and, S1, S2 Ref Save vs "Shocking Hands" (1d20+3=13, 1d20+3=13), envelope both shadows. Carter digs into the recesses of his brain and begins to spout all he knows (Knowledge Religion (1d20+5=23)) about these creatures. Incorporating these details into a story, he weaves an inspiring tale on all who can hear him. “Ugh!” Dregs grunts in sudden distaste as he feels all his equipment suddenly become much heavier than it was before. Not being able to move very far, he instead stands his ground, clutching his symbol of Sarenrae. “Be gone foul creatures of shadow! Sarenrae compels you!”, Channel Energy (2d6+4=7), S1, S2, S3 Will Save vs Chanel (1d20+4=6, 1d20+4=15, 1d20+4=14), and each shadow shudders in writhing pain as a dim florescence pulses through each of them. Mak throws 2 Shuriken at shadow #2, 2x Shuriken vs Shadow (1d20+4=12, 1d2+4=6, 1d20+4=19, 1d2+4=6), S2 Incorporeal Miss Chance (1d100=44), above Dregs' head, and then steps back 5', but both shuriken fly true through open air.
(Shadow 1, Dead; Shadow 2, 12 Damage; Shadow 3, 3 Damage; Inspired Courage to Party)
The shadows again lash out at Dregs, S1. S2 Incorporeal Touch Attack/Strength Damage vs Dregs (1d20+4=11, 1d6=4, 1d20+4=12, 1d6=5), and Dregs falls to the ground lifeless.

ACTIVE EFFECTS & CONDITIONS    Party Storm, 23/30 Dregs, 0 Strength Foe: Shadow 1, Dead Shadow 2, 12 Damage Shadow 3, 3 Damage Other: Carter - Bardic Performance (Rounds 1/13) Inspire Courage; +1 attack and damage, +1 save vs fear

 

[Duniagdra]

OUT-OF-CHARACTER:    Rounds before Dregs turns into Shadow (1d4=1)

[scarymike23]

“ Dregs! ” THINKING: none of my spells will affect these creatures.

Carter moves to S10 and slashes at one of the shadows (shadow 2 if he is still standing, otherwise 3) with his whip.
+1 scorpion whip attack then damage (1d20+10,1d4+6=[15, 10], [1, 6]) (thats a 25 to hit and a 7 damage, since I apparently don't know how to enter in the rolls correctly for invisiblecastle. Sorry).

Free action to continue inspire courage.

[The Hunter]

Ryder spurs Wolfie to move to U12 and he bellows a taunt to Shadow 2 as he attempts to strike it with his shortspear.

Shortspear melee vs. Shadow 2 (1d20+9=24, 1d4+4=6)

[patransom]

Vi gasps as she sees Dregs fall to the shadows. She delays so as to act last out of the party (after Mak). If there are any shadows still "alive" at that point, she will shoot at one of them with her elemental ray, moving as needed to get the clearest shot she can. Elemental ray ranged touch (1d20+5=20, 1d6+2=8)

[admin]

OUT-OF-CHARACTER:    Note: Mak retreated to S10 in the previous round, but this is not shown on the map... This might impact on Carter's action! scarymike23: You need to use semi-columns, not commas in Invisible Castle to have them display properly!

“ Dregs! ” Mak yells, seeing the hardy dwarf go down

As a swift action, Mak uses one ki point to give himself a +4 dodge bonus to AC. He then moves 10' to U10, to cover his downed friend (ooc note: I *really* wished you had not posted that tidbit about Dregs becoming a shadow.... grrr )

Fighting Defensively (-4 att, +2 AC), Using 1 Action Point to Boost Defense (+2 AC), he swings at shadow #2 (ooc note: Mak's strikes are considered Magic)
Round #2: Inspired Courage single Ki Strike vs Shadow #2 (1d20+9-4=18, 1d8+5=9)

ACTIVE EFFECTS & CONDITIONS for Mak    Armor Class & Touch Armor Class: 17 (base) +4 (ki point) +2 (Fighting Def.) +2 (Boost defense) = 25 (until the next round) Action Point left: 5 APs Ki Points left: 4 points

 

[marine7312000]

Durmisht lets out an inhuman wail upon seeing Dregs fall. His muscles seem to ripple under his skin as he moves forward to V12 and unleashes a powerful blow against Shadow 2.

OUT-OF-CHARACTER:    Activate rage, then Intimidate check and attack. Intimidate; Attack; Damage (1d20+15=29, 1d20+10=20, 2d6+9=18)

[Duniagdra]

OUT-OF-CHARACTER:    I went and tried something new this post. Let me know how you like it. I saw this somewhere else, done once by someone on this forum, and I liked how it blended in. Previewing this I'm liking it even more. I ask though that in your posts, you continue to show the full link with roll for my ease. When I validate, being as your rolls are already posted, there's no need for me to repeat. For my rolls, I'll take feedback. Do you feel that if I do this, you want to see my rolls at the bottom in the effect/conditions area, or are you okay with just having a link to them where I indicate my rolls were made?

Round 1:

1. Ryder <--- Full Action
2. Durmisht Rul <--- Full Action
3. Violasha <--- Full Action
4. Carter Jenkins <--- Full Action
5. Mak Kroket <--- Full Action
6. Dregs <--- Shadow Full Action
7. Shadow <--- Full Action

Ryder spurs Wolfie to move to U12 and he bellows a taunt to Shadow 2 as he attempts to strike it with his shortspear. Ryder thrusts furiously with his spear and finds substance within the insubstantial form. The shadow shrieks in pain. Durmisht lets out an inhuman wail upon seeing Dregs fall. His muscles seem to ripple under his skin as he moves forward to V12 and unleashes a powerful blow against Shadow 2. In his blind range, Durmisht continues to move when in reach of the shadow, and it lashes out at him sapping his strength. He attacks shadow 2 and his greatsword slices into the form and finds within it something firmer than expected. Again the shadow wails in pain and withers into nothingness. Vi gasps as she sees Dregs fall to the shadows. She delays so as to act last out of the party. “ Dregs! ” THINKING: None of my spells will affect these creatures. Carter moves to S10 and slashes at one of the shadows with his whip. As he lashes out with his whip over Mak's head, the tip of his whip cracks into the insubstantial form of shadow 3 and connects with nothing. “ Dregs! ” Mak yells, seeing the hardy dwarf go down. He then moves 10' to U10, to cover his downed friend. He swings at shadow #3 and connects as he finds denser wisps of shadowy substance within and the shadow shrieks from the strike. Vi shoots at shadow 3 with her elemental ray, having a clear shot from her position. While her aim is enough to connect with the form of the creature, her ray attack only passes through it.
From Dregs' body, a darkening form gathers and soon you see the horror of his fate as he rises as a shadow. Both shadows attack, one on Mak, the other on Ryder. Neither hit their targets.
(Shadow 2, Dead; Durmisht, 3 Strength Damage; Shadow 3, 9 Damage)

ACTIVE EFFECTS & CONDITIONS    Party Mak Armor Class & Touch Armor Class: 17 (base) +4 (ki point) +2 (Fighting Def.) +2 (Boost defense) = 25 (until the next round) Action Point left: 5 APs Ki Points left: 4 points Storm, 23/30 Foe: Shadow 1, Dead Shadow 2, Dead Shadow 3, 12 Damage Other: Carter - Bardic Performance (Rounds 1/13) Inspire Courage; +1 attack and damage, +1 save vs fear

 

[Duniagdra]

OUT-OF-CHARACTER:    Forgot to add that Durmisht's Demoralize attempt succeeds and shadow 3 is shaken.

[The Hunter]

Ryder's eyes go wide in shock at beholding Dregs' fate. He wheels about and rises his spear high preparing to thrust at the shadow Dregs has become, “I'm sorry, Dregs. Let me release you from this torment, my friend,” Ryder murmurs under his breath as he brings his spear down.

Shortspear melee vs. Shadow Dregs (1d20+9=22, 1d4+4=6)

[patransom]

Again, Vi waits to act last. If there are any shadows left at that time, she will shoot at one of them with an elemental ray: Ranged touch (1d20+5=14, 1d6+2=7)
